So you oppose socialism now?

The dichotomy between socialism and communism doesn't really exist. Socialism is a group of ideologies which seek to create an alternative to capitalism. Many so-called socialists are opportunists. Marxism is a type of socialism. Marxists believe socialism will bring about communism. I strongly support both, but in different time settings. We can't jump directly into communism. We need to develop socialism first, like what existed in the USSR and China.

I'm referring to the poll question

It asked which parts of socialism I agree with...

"For those who oppose socialism"


It doesn't sound like you oppose it. Sounds like you want it so you can build up to communism

I really don't care if people who don't oppose answer. It's easier to word the poll that way because of course those who consider themselves Socialists or agree with it are not going to oppose hardly any of it. So I am fine with hearing from Communists and Socialists on why they agree with it, but I more specifically wanted to hear from those who oppose it to see if they agree with any aspects of it at all.

Makes sense. I had just been wondering because doc seems to change his ideologies more frequently than most people on here
